Vapour-liquid equilibria in pure N-Methyl-1,3-diaminopropane (MAPA), 1,3-diaminopropane (DAP), 2-(Isopropylamino)ethanol (IPAE), N-tert-Butyldiethanolamine (N-TBDEA) and their aqueous solutions

Abstract

New energy effective solvents are in demand to make global CO2 capture feasible. Phase change solvents seem to be one avenue to reach this goal. This paper presents new experimental data and modelling results for four amines that have potential as new solvents in blends for post combustion CO2 capture. Both pure component data and data for amine-water solutions, based on ebulliometer measurements, are presented. The data were fitted to an Antoine equation and an NRTL model in two ways: first in a combined fit of both pure component and binary data and then in separate fits to the individual data sets. The methods were compared and guidelines as to which method to use, based on available data, is provided. Data for 2-(Isopropylamino)ethanol (IPAE), N-tert-Butyldiethanolamine (N-TBDEA), N-Methyl-1,3-diaminopropane (MAPA) and 1,3-diaminopropane (DAP) from the literature were collected and compared with the new data sets.
